Blind Spot Assist
Function of Blind Spot Assist
At speeds above approximately 30 km/h, Blind
Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing radar
sensors to monitor the area up to 3 m behind
your vehicle and directly next to your vehicle.
Below 30 km/h, the system is not active and
vehicles in the monitoring range are not detec‐
ted.
If Blind Spot Assist is activated, the warning
lamp in the exterior mirror lights up yellow at
speeds of up to 30 km/h. At speeds above
approximately 30 km/h, the warning lamp goes
out and Blind Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range at speeds above 30 km/h, the warning
lamp in the exterior mirror lights up red.
If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in
the lateral monitoring range and you switch on
the turn signal indicator in the corresponding
direction, a warning tone sounds once and the
warning lamp in the exterior mirror flashes red. If
the turn signal indicator remains switched on, all
other detected vehicles are indicated only by the
flashing of the red warning lamp.
If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is
given.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
different speed.
Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in this
situation.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation and maintain a safe dis‐
tance at the side of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is not a substitute for
attentive driving. Always ensure that there is suf‐
ficient distance to the side for other road users
and obstacles.

tions:

The sensors are dirty or covered.
